The Man With The Withered Hand, Et Al

·1 hr 9 min·5 clips
Jesus knew the Pharisees planned to accuse him of healing on the Sabbath, yet he healed the man's withered hand anyway.
The episode begins with a welcome and opening prayers for church members, including Joy Carmack's brother and Dave Pollum in the hospital. The preacher announces the sermon topic, 'The Man With The Withered Hand, Et Al', and shares church updates like a military lunch, upcoming baptism, and volunteer needs. He prays for Robin, who is moving to Mississippi. The sermon starts with a children's segment where the preacher discusses God's creation of Adam and Eve, emphasizing gender identity from a biblical perspective. The main sermon focuses on Luke 6:6-11, where Jesus heals a man with a deformed right hand in a synagogue on the Sabbath. The preacher explains that this was the third Sabbath controversy with the Pharisees, who watched Jesus closely to accuse him of working. Jesus knew their thoughts and challenged them by asking if it was lawful to do good or evil on the Sabbath. He heals the man by telling him to stretch out his hand, and the man is restored. The Pharisees respond with rage and conspire with the Herodians to kill Jesus. The preacher draws lessons on compassion, obedience, and not letting the supernatural become commonplace. He contrasts the healed man's joy with the Pharisees' hypocrisy, noting they plotted murder on the Sabbath. The sermon concludes with an invitation for personal reflection and Holy Communion, where the preacher explains the symbolism of the bread and cup representing Jesus' body and blood.
